Glorian Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 have you got heated grips? If I had heated grips I wouldnt be considering heated gloves. No need with the attitude Was gonna say.. Sarcastic much fella?Better off with heated grips (dr bike?) they're about £25 and much easier as the bike powers them not a battery. Or bark busters which will reduce wind chill Quote
Glorian Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Heated grips arn't hard to fit, probably take you 30min to an hour. Quote
Guest Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Seems to me an odd time of year to be considering heated grips or gloves.. I 'do' have heated grips, but haven't used them since the last round of frosty mornings. Im still wearing my winter gloves though - mainly because I have plastic surgery on my right hand and so am particularly badly affected by the cold. another few weeks and they can go into storage until the autumn. I 'do' have bark busters on the 800 though.. having had similar items on the GS for donkeys years I 'know' how effective these can be at reducing wind chill. they also help keep the rain off to an extent.http://i.imgur.com/j4U8tfTh.jpg Quote
Chrissb6 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Personally l think that every bike sold in the northern hemisphere should come fitted with heated grips as standard. I've been out on the bike when it's been that cold l couldn't pull on the levers, on reflection it was bloody stupid and dangerous. The first thing l fit on changing my bike is heated grips Quote
mealexme Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 I have bad circulation in my hands, so they are always cold. Using a bike without them, even in the summer, my hands can sometimes stiffen up. I've used heated grips for 2/3 years and never had an issue Quote
